About Michael J

Michael J is an engaging adult cat, deeply thankful for TJO's Wound of Unknown Origins program. He arrived with some scratches and bites on his head, resulting from a previous incident with another animal, which led to a necessary four-month quarantine to ensure his safety against rabies. Michael J is a busy and social kitty, enjoying the company of nearly everyone he meets. He adores ear rubs and, in return, he generously offers head butts and adorable biscuits. Given his tendency to get overstimulated, he would thrive best in a home with teens and older. His striking black coat requires regular brushing to keep it mat-free, making grooming an essential part of his care. Michael J can adapt well whether alone or with fellow felines, though his interaction with dogs remains uncertain. This kitty needs a loving owner with cat experience who can appreciate his playful yet cuddly nature. He's ready for continued veterinary care and we're confident he'll settle smoothly into his new home. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
